About Lukestone Dementia Nursing Home

Lukestone Dementia Nursing Home is a specialist nursing home in Maidstone, Kent, set within a quiet residential neighbourhood that can feel like a familiar and comforting environment for residents. The team there focuses on supporting people living with dementia, and families often find it reassuring to know their loved one is being cared for in a setting dedicated to understanding their specific needs. If you are exploring care options in the Kent area, Lukestone may be worth considering as part of your search.

Lukestone provides personal and nursing care for up to 43 people living with dementia across three floors in a residential area of Maidstone. At the time of inspection, the home was at full capacity.

However, inspectors identified significant safety concerns. Risk assessments were not consistently in place to guide staff in keeping people safe. Medicines management was problematic, with one person failing to receive their prescribed medicine for two weeks.

Incidents were not always effectively reviewed to prevent them from happening again.
